Pretty mind-blowing to hear big writers and directors like Jack Epps, Michael Miner, Adam Green give their take on popular fan theories about their movies. I love that they cover all the classics, RoboCop, Hellraiser, Top Gun, and even obscure cult classics like Space Camp. You name it, there’s an episode and a fan theory about it!
The Popcorn Isn’t Real has all the basics down for a solid film podcast: passion for movies, entertaining conversation, insightfulness, etc. However, the premise of focusing on fan theories including the more insane ones is what really sets this show apart. It’s simple yet so creative that I’m sort of jealous I didn’t think of it. As brothers, the hosts have a great rapport, and the show in general is easy to listen to. Subscribe now!

Love this podcast for giving me a peek into so many movies I had heard about but didn't really know well. I feel like I at least have a little background to talk about some of the movies I may not have seen with my friends, and it's added a few great movies to my must-see list! Highly recommend for entertainment lovers.
This pod is the real deal. I've never listened to a show by a cybersecurity professional but oh man is it rad. They have some really interesting insights into some of Hollywood's biggest hits and it might just make you think differently about classics like American Psycho.
